American Association of Pediatrics Washington DC Convention Center

American Academy of Pediatrics- AAP Convention

We just came back from Washington, DC where we attended the 2009 American Academy of Pediatrics national conference, "Pediatric Heroes: Champions for Children." It was an awesome experience. We met some terrific pediatricians who shared with us the benefits having Pediatric Nurse Practitioners, including an increase in access to health care and increased profitability for their practices. We will be working with many of them going forward to help them fill open positions that they currently have. We also learned that Pediatric Nurse Practitioners are in high demand, and there are a number of fast track and emergency center PNP positions available at this time. All in all, it was great, and we are so glad we were able to participate in this year's Conference.
